High-temperature superconducting cable cooling systems for power grid applications
Abstract
High-temperature superconducting (HTS) cable systems have been suggested as an effective method of transmitting very large amounts of electric power (up to 10 GW) over very long distances (thousands of kilometers). This is made possible mainly by the high-current-carrying capability of the HTS materials when operated below their critical temperatures and by their near-zero resistance to constant current. Most HTS cable concepts rely on liquid nitrogen or gaseous helium as the coolant. The essential requirements of a commercial HTS cable cryogenic system and the descriptions of several recent cryogenic ...
